Ah, you can feel it already??? LOL 🙂

John Coverley
Relax Soon and have a happy new year.

Kerry COX
This will be a nice build Soon. 🙂 And take John's advice too. Take it easy mate, as it's only half the modelling world looking on LOL 🙂

Turns out the photoetch seat belts were insufficient; missing lap belts etc.

I've just uploaded 2 photos showing before-after adding masking tape bits.

Awesome job Soon!

Wim van der Luijt
Count me in for the rest of the build, this is looking really good!

Soon Tuck Yee
Thanks for following. I've added hydraulic lines to the landing gear.
Also scratch-built the refuelling port for the starboard bay.

Looking awesome Soon.

Soon Tuck Yee
The mis-numbering of the parts in the instruction is really slowing me down. Terrible QA, Kitty Hawk.

Kerry COX
Mr Yee. 🙂 I remember the 1/72 Hasegawa Jag and in particular, the Box Top art work, and I am wondering what the paint scheme is you have in mind for your 1/48 version here, which I will add is really starting to look so good, and all that extra detail is really nice to see. Congrats mate 🙂

Soon Tuck Yee
Thanks Kerry, I will be doing the 2-tone Chad (desert) scheme from the box art.
From what I've read from other builds, the paint callout diagram is also wrong (blue for the undersides; should be silver).

Clifford Keesler
Looking awesome sir.

Soon Tuck Yee
Thanks for following, Clifford.

Here's part 5 of my build log. I've painted the bare-metal sections using Alclad II lacquers.

The cockpit looks awesome! Always stunning how people can make such a great clean work 🙂

Kerry COX
Soon, Your making great progress on you Jag mate, and the metal finish on the tail looks authentic ! 🙂

Bart Goesaert
metal paint looks fabulous

Clifford Keesler
Still looking great sir.

Jan Hazes
Nice work so far Soon. Such a cool aircraft. Used to control these things back in the 80's until they got replaced by Tornadoes.

Soon Tuck Yee
Thank you everyone. More photos uploaded for your enjoyment.

Clifford Keesler
Coming along very nicely.
